The band was started by Ian Thornley when he returned to Toronto after the breakup of his earlier band, Big Wreck. With the help of Chad Kroeger of Nickelback, Thornley signed on to Kroeger's 604 Records. The other band members of Thornley are Tavis Stanley on guitar, Ken Tizzard (formerly of The Watchmen) on bass, and Sekou Lumumba (formerly of Edwin & The Pressure, which was Edwin from I Mother Earth's band after leaving IME) on drums. After 1½ years of touring Thornley made some changes. After Ken and Sekou both left Thornley, the band added from "Big Sugar," Eric Paul on drums and Cale Gontier on bass, from the "Three Days Grace" camp.

Bright Side Lyrics

Thornley

On my way back from nowhere now
Always tell by my breath somehow
There's no songs worth singing out there
The landscape of inspiration's so bare

No straight jacket on me

Eat my breakfast with employees
And they push this thing even further still
Which they knowingly try to kill

On the bright side
There's never been a right side
Of love to lay on
Remembered or forgotten

You keep it coming, you pour it on
This conclusion is not forgone
When I get lost inside a dream
You know it's time to scrub and to quarantine

On the bright side
There's never been a right side
Of life to live on
Remembered or forgotten

On the bright side
The morning kills the night time
Your life is your time
Yesterday's just a past time
